You all know I am going to Turkey with my Dad to go to the 2015 ANZAC Day Dawn Service. It will be 100 years since WW1 Australian soldiers landed at Gallipoli.
We fly out in 2 days and I still have a few things to do...
- pack clothes
- pack iPad
- pack thermals, warm coat and beanie for staying overnight in Gallipoli.
- Tickets for the Dawn Service.
- get homework from Miss Frankas (hahahahahahah! Just joking :)
To get ready to go to the ANZAC service I have been reading my great, great great grandfather, Private James Isaac Larsen's war diary. He fought at Gallipoli and got wounded but survived.
We are also going to take my great, great grandfather (R.W.Kirkwood)'s commemorative ANZAC medal that was given to the men who went to Gallipoli in 1915. And it recognises " the great debt owed by all Australians".
Ham out
counting down!!!!!
